You have to either select A: interaction, the up arrow, then the down arrow, to brush the dog for grooming/bathing it. Or select B: information, the down arrow and if you have points then take it to 'town' then to the groomers

How to bathe a dog?
Humm...well, ok .. it goes something like this...
Get all the items you need together first: Towels, dog shampoo, cream rinse if necessary, clippers, safety scissors, etc... you get the idea.
Run some tepid warm water in the tub, maybe about 2 or 3 inches deep. Try not to whisper the word 'bath' while you're doing this. Even the mention of the letters B.A.T.H. seems to cause chaos.
Without prior warning, deftly pick up or steer dog by the collar and with calming, loving and reassuring words of affection, take dog to bath. Long sleeved protective garments might be in order to save your arms from the claws as they panic and attempt to escape.
Put dog in bath, and with a largish plastic cup, begin dipping water and pouring over back, neck, tail and legs. If you have a shower head that has a hose on it, this is even better!
Get dog thouroughly wet, and pick up shampoo bottle. Struggle with the top you forgot to open, and then scream something like "COME BACK!" as wet dog escapes tub. Only if you are fortunate will this incident occur prior to applying the shampoo while struggling to recap the bottle.
Retrieve wet dog, and using the towels you intended to use on wet dog after the bath, you attempt to clean up the bathroom floor and another rooms the dog as escaped too.
After wet dog has been removed from your bed, begin at the start again.
Apply shampoo in a line down the length of the dogs back. The tail will likely be tucked between hind legs. Be sure to pull it up and lather it with a rich foam. Be sure you... yuk, wash ...uh, under the tail. Be very careful not to get water/lather in the eyes or ears. Vigorously but gently massage dogs, skin and coat. Long haired dogs are especially patient during this process. (haha!)
Rinse thouroughly!! You cannot rinse long enough! Towel dry and give a lot of praise. Brush lightly to remove any tangles, clip nails, and clip hair aroud anus. Chase dog again through house, finish the job in the kitchen. Its best to step back and allow dog to shake with body shudders that will fling water all over the kitchen and probably all the way to the television screen in the den. Screen needed dusting anyway.
Sigh with the satisfaction of a job well done as the dog dashes outside and rolls in the yard.
Or ..... call a local groomer and make an appointment.
